If a billion dollar company went bankrupt another billion dollar company will just buy them and absorb there assets.. the great machine marches on, amirite?

That's how capitalism works. Also presents the opportunity for someone with less assets to aquire more assets at a lower cost. When I started my shop, one of the best things that happened for my shop was a Midas going out of business. I bought everything I could afford. Made for a tough month but allowed me to have equipment at a quarter of the month and allowed me to hire two more guys.
